It is pack cloth I think on the outside so it is waterproof and has the softest flannel like material on the inside. The straps are adjustable and it was so easy to get on. She came inside and went back to the back bedroom to lay in the sun in it so I assume it is comfortable for her.

Actually, it's a cotton canvas on the outside which is very water resistant but very breathable...the lining is called ultra cuddle so it is very soft. I'm working on getting them to fit up close on the neck and yet still go over porkchop heads without popping the eyeballs out and doing it with dogs that I can't touch or measure...having to rely on other people's measurements.

So I'm seeing a need for a deeper dart just at the outside of the shoulders and a bit rounder on the neck.

So she picks someone who failed home ec and doesn't know how to measure Thank goodness for skype. I guess if she can go by my measurements she can go by anyone's.

Oooooh! Robin has a crappy Halloween sweater that's a little too small and that I have to wiggle her into. But it was one of the only sweaters I could find early in the season that covered some belly. I like this new design!!

I'm not sure what we're talking about. The piece that comes under the belly has the two straps that come up and snap in on the top. Where the chest and shoulder piece meets the top is one of the adjustments - I have put in a small probably 1/4 showing of elastic that provides just enough "give" for the fat heat dogs (like Scoots) yet still fit up more closely to the neck.

hey, Diane..if fitting snuggle but still going over the head is an issue, what about adding a strip of elastic on each side so it can stretch to go over the noggin but still snuggly fit the neck? Like where the chest attaches to the back?
